What to Do with a Message

Once you’ve read a message, you can respond to it, delete it, file it, and so

on. Here’s the drill:

Read it. The type size in email messages can be pretty small.

Fortunately, you have some great enlargement tricks at your
disposal. For example, on a touchscreen, you can spread two
fingers to enlarge the entire email message. Or press Ctrl+plus or

Ctrl+minus, just as in a web browser.

Next message. Once you’ve had a good look at a message and

have processed it to your satisfaction, you can move on to the next
(or previous) message in the list. Touchscreen or mouse: Tap or
click the message you want in the message list. Keyboard: Press

the or keys.

Open an attachment. You’ll know when somebody has attached a

file to a message you’ve received. A paper clip ( ) appears on the

message in the message list, and an icon for the attachment appears
at the top of the body. Tapping the attachment icon opens it right
up.

Reply to it. To answer a message, select Reply at the top of the
message. If the message was originally addressed to multiple
recipients, then “Reply all” sends your reply to everyone

simultaneously.
